i’ve been reading about the issues regarding the lights exterior/interior-so many customer complaints about how over the past few decades problems with the interior (dash) and exterior lights blinking, dimming & “ completely going out” while of course driving-how hasn’t this major issue been addressed & recalled, this is a VERY DANGEROUS & SERIOUS PROBLEM, I am currently experiencing this while on the road at night-what can be done? Our safety is at risk!!

My vehicle has experienced ecm/ throttle body issues, lights flickering hard to drive vehicle at night because the lights aren't working properly. Transmission and motor problems. Why isn't the electrical issues on recall? I've been on several forums with hundreds of electrical issue complaints. This is not fair

I went to the gas station, 2-ish mile drive and came back home. About 20 minutes later we decided to go see my mother in law, 34 highway miles away. Cool, so we go, everything is fine, beastie (that's the name of my 2006 chrysler 300), is running good, my husband and 3yr old are jammin out to metallica, and we get to my mother in laws house.. Stay a couple hours and decided to head home.. So we say bye ect ect.. We get about 9.5 miles down our 34 mile ride home... Aww crap, there is a tractor on the road, so we go to pass him... Or so we thought... Make sure coast is clear, turn on blinker and step on the gas petal more firmly.. Ok in the other lane.. And bam!! Car dies in motion at 60 MPH!! My husband just casually says "hey babe, I think the car just died" and I look like "haha whatever" and I couldn't believe it.. So we pull over and try to get it started, had my mil come jump us.. An hour later and we still don't have beastie started.. No clicking, no nothing.. So unfortunately beastie had to sit on the side of the road until the next day... The next day we got her towed to my mils house... That was 3 days ago... And beastie still hasn't started up for me...

This is the second time I've had to pay to replace the ABS hub (complete axle) due to rust/rotting. When the ABS ring rust or rots, the ABS module becomes confused and activates intermittently. I was driving the vehicle and the brakes locked intermittently causing a very dangerous situation. I stopped thinking that it would reset something but it happened again. I had to take it to a repair shop once again and now I've had to pay over $1,000 for the rear axles and now $1,000 for the front. Axles have to be replaced each time. These rings should not simply rot and cause a dangerous situation!

Vehicle intermittently stalls when slowing for a stop or accelerating after a stop or slowing down to turn a corner. Has happened 4 times after being 'fixed' by dealer. Did meet with service director but have not had any response. No power when it happens.. All instances are on city paved streets. Restarts on first try. Check fuel light comes on but check engine light does not. Dealer has worked on it 3 times and replaced parts but it has not fixed the problem. They really have no idea what is going on.

I was driving down the road and the car just shut off all at once. I immediately put emergency flashers on and crank it up only for it to do the same thing 3 or 4 more times before it starts to drive normal as if nothing ever happened. This happens while I am driving down the street, turning or whenever it feel like cutting off.

My car shuts off while driving. I wait for a minute or so and it turns back on after restart it.. Initially it was only doing this as I was coming off the freeway. Then again a few minutes later at the stop light. It progressed to turning off as I was driving at 65 miles on the freeway. This almost caused an accident. Luckily I was on the right lane and there were no cars directly behind me. Otherwise I would have been rear ended at the least. This is very dangerous and could have resulted in an accident. It also happened on the street while driving 30 MPH. The steering wheel locks up and the car turns off. In a stretch of five miles, it happened about 10 times. I took the car to the dealer and they cannot figure out what is wrong with it. It has been there since april 3 and the dealer still cannot figure out what is wrong with it. They thought it was the battery, then the spark plugs. They still have it and do not know what is wrong with it.
